Recorded monuments

• GA082-018001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  At S edge of an extensive tract of bogland called the Curragh. In existence in 1574 when it was occupied by 'Donell Oge Ohologhan' (Nolan 1901, 115). Described in OS Letters as 'an old castle in ruins. The walls are still standing, thickness 4 feet [1.2m], height 54 feet [16.45m], bread[th] within walls 25 feet [7.6m]'. They also note 'that the extensive ruins of other edifices attached to it, are the remains of buildings got up after the erection of the castle by the family of the Burkes' (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 1, 138). All that remains today are the ruins of a later house (GA082-018002-), the castle itself having fallen, and its stone reused, in the late 19th C. (Athy 1914, 154-5) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
